I installed the lock for my folks in early January 2013, so I don't have experience with battery lifetime yet. However, the lock uses four AA batteries. It comes with Duracell ProCell batteries. The owner's manual recommends changing the batteries annually as you replace your smoke detector batteries. As a result, I anticipate at least a year's service under moderate use. The lock provides a low battery warning. Battery replacement is very simple--just slip off the black cover on the inside side of the lock, disconnect the battery holder connector, slide the battery holder out, and replace the batteries. The lock retains its settings. I installed the lock for my folks in early January 2013, so I don't have experience with battery lifetime yet. However, the lock uses four AA batteries.

Installed 2 months and has hardly dropped at all. Easy to change AA batteries.

Not long at all. Maybe 30 min from a completely dead battery. Lasts a good while too.

In my experience, a fully charged battery lasts 7 to 8 hours, depending on how loud you have it and how far from the base station it is.

Mine is near 3 years old. Battery life is certainly shortened now (probably 10-12 minutes run time) but zero complaints about its performance. Gets used a few minutes every few days. I have been guilty of leaving it on charge a few days over the years. Certainly been a good value so far. Will likely built my own battery for it when the run time is unusable.

I have run it for about 6 hrs before on a fully charged battery. Sometimes 7 depending on how often it is used. I keep a spare fully charged battery on hand just in case.

I don't know exactly how long the battery lasts (it said up to four hours in the book) but I enjoy movies on it in the evening and I never have problems with the battery running down. I have worked from it in other areas (unplugged) and it certainly keeps me on long enough.

the battery works quite well. it lasts at least one to two days if you consistently use it. although its off for a while, you still can turn it on without losing power not being used.

Hi! As you said, it tends to consume the battery. About 8-10 hours. Sincerely,

I have used mine for at least 4 hours. After 6 or 7 years it still lasts over 2 hours.

I've had it for about two years now, and the battery life on it is about two hours, give or take. It's definitely better than the one I replaced, though. I'm still a little disappointed that I have to practically keep my laptop plugged in just to be able to use it for longer periods. Hope this helps!

I am not sure of exactly how long but it seems to be about 2 hours or so. I have actually never timed it. This is an older laptop my kids use for games so that might be why the battery doesn't seem to last very long. Hope this helps! :)

About 6 - 8 hours if you run the battery all the way down. Which I dont recommend because your batteries wont last very long.

Mine has lasted for several years ... it has a built in rechargeable battery. I only charge it once a month or so.

it lasts as long as you dont use it. the battery does not lose its charge once it is charged

I've never had mine die on me but I've taken it for a six hour trip and it had about 25% battery power afterwards so I'd guess maybe about eight hours in total.

I haven't exactly timed how long the battery lasts, but depending on how much I use it, I generally need to charge it every day. Naturally I turn it off when I'm not using it, but I would say once a day with normal use.

I tend to keep mine on power save, it seems to last pretty well. I'm not sure and exact answer on a number but several hours.
